Pegoland^® Flex C2 TE S1

Composition

Product based on high resistance cement, selected aggregates, additives and synthetic polymers and resins which give excellent bonding, good workability and resistance to ageing.

Features and applications

• Non slip. Excellent initial adherence.
• Long open time. Allows rectification.
• Deformable. Type S1 according to UNE-EN 12002
• No need to wet tiles or substrates thanks to its high water-retaining capacity.
• Suitable for all types of ceramic tiles and porcelain tiles, marble, granite and natural stone.
• Highly recommended for large format tiles.
• To be applied indoors and outdoors. Façades.
• To tile large areas with intense traffic and floors with underfloor heating, cooling chambers and overlapping.
• Swimming pool tiling.
• Laying of tiles over cementitious waterproofing from the MORCEM DRY range. 

Substrates

• Conventional cement-based substrates.
• Suitable for adhesion on all types of plasterboard walls (PYL type).
• Suitable for gypsumboards substrates.
• Marble, granite, terrazzo, natural stone and all types of ceramic supports in interior and exterior paving and interior cladding.
• Do not apply on plaster and paint.
• Substrates must be resistant, stable, sound and clean, free of dust, demolding agents, organic products, etc.
• All substrates must have the appropriate flatness. Otherwise, smooth down up to 5 mm with the same product 48 hours prior to bonding. In case of greater thickness should be used:
  • On floors: Depending on the particular need use NIVELAND 10 R or PAVILAND SOLERA AUTONIVELANTE.
  • On walls: mortars with adequate tensile strength with drying shrinkage already completed.
• In case of hot or windy weather conditions or when applying over absorbent substrates, it is advisable to wet the substrate and wait till the thin layer of water disappears.
• On outdoor flooring, substrates must have a gradient equal or superior to 1%.

Instructions for use

• Add water and mix by hand or mechanically until it takes on an even and workable consistency.
• Let the mixture stand for 5 minutes and remix.
• Spread the mixed product on the substrate with a trowel to a maximum surface area of 2m².
• Spread with a notched trowel to adjust thickness (see chart).
• Place the pieces on the fresh adhesive, pressing and moving until the grooves are completely crushed and the entire surface of the ceramic is properly adhered, periodically check the stickiness of the adhesive by lifting a previously laid tile, if a non-transfer film appears on the surface of the adhesive, or dehydration of the adhesive, proceed to remove the material and apply a new product.
• Laying the tiles by a double glueing method outdoors, for formats greater than 900cm2, on floors of commercial or industrial use, if there is underfloor heating, when laying ceramic sheets, if using levelling systems or if the tiles have a relief such as that good contact with the adhesive is difficult.
• Respect the construction joints (expansion, shrinkage, fraction, perimeter corner joints) and between tiles (minimum of 2 mm inside and 5 mm outside).
• Joints should be grouted 24 hours after if on vertical surfaces, and 48 hours after if on floorings. Use the appropriate mortar from the MORCEMCOLOR range depending on the type of joint.

NOTE: For better results lay tiles as soon as possible after spreading.

Notched-trowel panel

Maximum weight on vertical surfaces: 40 kg/m²

Cautions and recommendations

• Do not apply below 5ºC nor above 40ºC.
• Do not apply when there is a risk of frost, rain, strong wind or direct sunlight.
• Do not use the technique known as by globs.
• Working and setting times of the adhesive depend on the temperature, air streams, and the absorption of tiles and substrates.
• Under extreme weather conditions (gusty winds or high temperatures) drying may occur faster.
• Tiled areas of walls and floors above 50 m² indoor and 30 m² outdoor or elongated more than 15 linear m it is recommended to divide them with joints filled with a deformable grout among PUMALASTIC range.
• For slate use PEGOLAND PROFESIONAL FLEX ELITE.
• In case of Indoor floor tiled it is recommended to leave a free perimeter joint between the tiles and the wall or pillar of about 5 mm hidden by the plinth. These joints must be filled with a deformable grout among PUMALASTIC range.
• On floorings with underfloor heating, apply when substrate is at room temperature (between 5ºC and 40ºC).
• On floors with underfloor heating; this should be switched off at least 48 hours prior to use and should be switched back on again gradually after at least 7 days of installing the flooring and grouting operation.
• For use in cooling chambers; these should remain switched off until the correct adhesive curing has been obtained, at least 7 days of installing the flooring.
• The swimming pool can be refilled after 7 days of applying the adhesive.
• The watertightness of the swimmingpool must be guaranteed by the underlying concrete structure.
• In applications on laminated plaster partitions, check that the support is well fixed to prevent movement.
• On façades and exterior facings, the material must be secured with mechanical systems when any of the following conditions are complied with: superior format of 2400 cm², any side larger than 60 cm,
  weight greater than 40 kg/m² or height greater than 3 metres.
• For gypsum based substrates use PEGOLAND PROFESIONAL range, avoiding slaked or poor plaster.
• In case of tiles reinforced with fiberglass mesh on their back, ask the technical department.
• When working with tiles that can be stained due to their high water absorption should be placed with  PEGOLAND FAST FLEX C2FTE S1.

• On ceramic pavements (overlays), remove the badly adhered pieces and fill the gaps with mortar the day before the application of the new tiling. Ensure that the old ceramic is free of traces of fats or waxes, if necessary proceed to the milling of the enameled surface until the loss of brightness of the old ceramic. In case of doubt, make a preliminary test to establish the suitability of the solution provided.
